The new gtrot is live!

It’s here guys and gals- a new gtrot focused on making your local experience even better.  The new gtrot helps you discover, organize, and share local favorites, to-dos, and much more in your home city (or travel destination!). It’s something you can use wherever, whenever.

We’ll take you through a short registration flow to get your new profile set up. Then start exploring your city and create collections to showcase favorite food spots, bars you’ve been meaning to try, or concerts you want to see - it’s all on the new gtrot!

For more information on the new gtrot, check out our recent press with Fast Company and TechCrunch.

This morning we emailed our users a monthly newsletter to let them know that big changes are coming to gtrot. Tnooz shared our news with their community to let them know that we’re shifting from travel planning to city discovery. 
When we launched the current gtrot.com in November, we thought we built a travel planning product. Turns out we were wrong. Personalized recommendations for restaurants, nightlife, deals, events, and more are great for travel. But nearly half of you started exploring your home city, using this advice to plan your weekend or night out. So this month, we’re relaunching gtrot to give users what you want: a platform for discovering your city, sharing your favorite things, and making plans with friends. Follow us on Twitter to stay up-to-date on the relaunch!

A Special Gift From Urban Adventures

Last week we posted a video from our friends over at Urban Adventures. If you want to get the vibe of a city from a local’s point of view, Urban Adventures does just that! They provide tours in over 100 cities! They are still looking for someone to take over the London Urban Adventures, if you’re interested.

Also, they gave us a special 10% off discount code for gtrot users! Use the promo code GTROT when booking your tour! This code is valid for all tours booked and completed by June 30, 2012.

Happy touring!
